Earmarks they asked for
Congressionally directed spending enacted at their request, alone or with others: 22 earmarks, $54.4M. None went to an organization whose employees are among their donors.
- To an organization whose employees gave to them
- To one whose lobbying firm's lobbyists gave to them
